Neutrino Event Selection in the MicroBooNE Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber using Wire-Cell 3-D Imaging, Clustering, and Charge-Light Matching

Understand

An accurate and efficient event reconstruction is required to realize the full scientific capability of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs).

• The current and future neutrino experiments that rely on massive LArTPCs create a need for new ideas and reconstruction approaches.
• Wire-Cell, proposed in recent years, is a novel tomographic event reconstruction method for LArTPCs.
• The Wire-Cell 3D imaging approach capitalizes on charge, sparsity, time, and geometry information to reconstruct a topology-agnostic 3D image of the ionization electrons prior to pattern recognition.
